Council Discusses
Big Response To
Defense Courses
Decision Made to Postpone
May Day Voting Until
December
The College Council met for the
first time this year at Miss Park's
house on October 9. The tremen-
dous response to the idea of de-
fense courses was discussed, and it
was suggested that the Presbyte-
rian Hospital in Philadelphia and
the House Committee of the Bryp
Mawr Hospital might take stu-
dents to help so that they could
learn the geography of a hospital.
The possibilities of a joint course
with Swarthmore in wartime nu-
trition, and quick, brush-up courses
in languages were also considered.
The Council decided that we
should use and develop the organi-
zation we already have for fire-
fighting, and emphasized the ne-
cessity of students knowing how
to use fire-extinguishers and sand
bags. Health and exercise were
also recognized as important in
preparing for defense.
It was decided to postpone the
voting for May Day until Decem-
ber, so that the problem can be
presented to the students and con-
sidered. A competition of one-act
plays in which only freshmen
would participate was discussed,
and also the necessity of increas-
ing the personalization of Fresh-
man Week.

De Laguna and Crew Explore
Early Sinaguan Civilization
Near Flagstaff
Twenty miles east of Flagstaff,
Arizona, on the border between the
Painted Desert and the pine for-
ests of the Coconino Plateau is
Cinder Park, scene of the Archae-
ology dig conducted this summer
by Miss Frederica de Laguna. The
present and former Bryn Mawr
students who worked with her
were Katherine McClellan, Cath-
erine Coleman, Margaret Foote,
Alice Geier, Betty Read and Bet-
sey Dimock. Sydney Conner, two
Hopi Indians and a cook completed
the crew.
The Museum of Northern Ari-
zona, which collaborated with the
expedition, has been working out
a culture history of this area by
means of surface collections and
excavations at a number of sites.
They have been particularly inter-
ested in the remains of the now
vanished Sinagua tribe, who were
the northwesternmost relatives of
a group of ancient peoples known
as the Mogollon. The Mogollon
territories stretched from Flag-
staff into central New Mexico and
lay between the lands of the Bas-
ket Maker-Pueblo (Anasazi) tribes
in the north and the home of the
Hohokam is southern Arizona. The
Sinagua seem to have developed
extensive trade with both their
neighbors, and their culture grad-
ually took on many outside charac-
teristics. About 1300 A. D. when
a twenty - seven year drought
caused a great population move-
ment all over the Southwest, the
area around Flagstaff was aban-
doned and the Sinagua disap-
peared forever. The middle and
later Foci or stages of their his-
tory have been revealed by the re-
searches of the Museum, but until
the Bryn Mawr expedition dug at

Last Supper Eaten By
As Europeans Find
Oral Blunderers
Sausages for Ancestors
By Barbara Kaufman, '43
Did you know that "one has
made too much of the growth,
term besides badly definite, in the
explanation of a character that de-
pends on human willingness and
liberty one has understood that to
be human, an adventurous human
. . . " ? This and many other
such scholarly and hitherto un-
known facts have been found
among the results of the French
Orals.
Evidence of a wide reading of
the New Testament is given. There
seems to be a deep interest in last
suppers. "II n'avait pu resister a
receuillir leur dernir soupir" may
mean: "He could not resist gather-
ing them together for their last
prayer," or " . . recoiling from
their last supper," or � as some
murder story or Borgia fan puts
it�: " . . cooking their last sup-
per, (I.E. to send them to the
grave)," or, more specifically, " .
poisoning their last meal." There
are some rather pathetic pictures:
"The old people who were dying
could not resist recalling their last
supper," or "In about five hundred
pages, the little children became
old maids, and he could not-resist
picking up their last supper," and
even "Having become old folks
with the death rattle (in their
throats) he could not resist catch-
ing their last sigh." But the real
character of the person in question
is finally revealed when "the little
children become old devils and he
could. not resist from enjoying
their last moments."
The meaning of embolism, has,
it seems, numerous possibilities. It
can do all sorts of things to you:
you can be "filled with an embo-
lism to bring the poor girl to the
last 15 lines;" "An embolism,"
now apparently a form of vehicle,
"brings the poor girl within 15
lines of the end,", and a man can
be "true to himself in an embo-
lism."
This same mercurial and emboli-
cal author devotes a book to a
"feminine heroine," whom he keeps
alive for several hundred pages.
Someone wisely remarked: "The
Unknown, a term badly defined
among others....." A certain
author apparently "read more and
more into his initial self," until,
finally, the Greek Goddess of
"Criticism herself, which had en-
couraged his beginnings, began to
be less enthused about him."
And a wealth of miscellaneous,
but obscure and valuable, informa-

League to Sponsor
Lectures Connected
With Defense Work
In connection with the courses
for National Defense, the Bryn
Mawr League will sponsor a series
of lectures on nutrition and Work
in the Community. The course is
intended primarily for those in the
League who have worked with
children, but is open to anyone in-
terested. It is probable that the
importance of such work will in-
crease with the growing effort for
defense.
The first lecture will be on
Thursday evening, October 23,
when Miss Kraus will speak on the
work women can do in the commu-
nity. Following this lecture, on al-
ternate Thursdays, other members
of the faculty and the heads of the
Haverford Y. W. C. A., and Com-
munity Center will speak.
Every other Thursday evening,
Dr. Doyle will lecture on nutrition
in the Biology lecture room at 7.30.
He will discuss the theoretical ba-
sis of the nutritional requirements
of children and adults, and the
methods of estimating the value of
various types of food. If enough
interest is shown, he will supple-
ment the course with practical

Rules of Cut System
Stated by Committee
At the beginning of the new
semester the Cut Committee wishes
to bring the regulations regarding
the cut system to the notice of the
student body. Each student is al-
lowed the same number of cuts in
one semester as she has hours of
class in one week. The only excep-
tion is in the case of labs which
are counted both in calculating the
number of cuts allowed, and in de-
ciding the number of cuts taken, as
a third of a cut per hour. The
committee sends out cards each
kmonth notifying students of the
number of cuts taken and the
number remaining. Any one who
is late for a class must report her
lateness to the dean's office imme-
diately after the class. Otherwise,
any cut given her by the monitor
will be counted in the number of
cuts taken. Penalties consist in
the subtraction of cuts from the
number allowed for the succeeding
semester, or, in severe cases the
subtraction of credit. ,
Cricket Club Yellows
Beaten by Owls in
Lively 3-0 Shutout
Bryn Mawr, Oct. 15.�With the
peppiest team that the Owls have
had in several years, Bryn Mawr
scored a thrilling 3-0 shutout
against the second team of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club Yellows,
bolstered by two first team mem-
bers..
The first game of the season for
Bryn Mawr was replete with bril-
liant plays. Most of the play of
the first period was on the Yel-
low's half of the field. The Owls
smashed down the field with an ex-
ceptionally well-balanced forward
line and kept the game at high
pitch with their close play around
the Yellow's goal.
After the Yellow's All-American
team goalee, made a clearing hit,
Connie Lazo hit a hard rushing
shot for the first goal. The few
times the Yellows threatened Bryn
Mawr's goal was proof of the solid
defense work of the halfbacks and
fulls. With fifteen seconds left to
play in the first half, the Owls
were taking a corner when Fran-
nie Matthai received the ball from
Connie Lazo and put it cleanly into
the goal, a very difficult play to
make.
With two goals scored against
them, the Yellows were fighting
hard in the second period to regain
lost ground. It was then that the
defense's steadiness became appar-
ent. Not only steady, but swift,
the halfbacks pushed up behind the
forward line and then back down
the field again when the Yellow's

Its Third Annual
Activities Drive
Canvassers Appointed
Amount Pledged Optional;
Standard Contribution
Nine Dollars
Today the third Bryn Mawr Ac-
tivities Drive began. Started ex-,
perimentally in 1939 as the big
drive to end all smaller drives, it
may be considered now�after two
successful years�as an institution.
Included this year in the drive
are: the Bryn Mawr League, with
all its sub-divisions, the Summer
Camp, Hudson Shore Labor School,
the Players' Club, the refugee
scholarship, and foreign and do-
mestic welfare. The executive
board of the Activities Drive is to
manage this last part of the fund
instead of the Peace Council, which
was dissolved last spring.
To be a success the Drive, which
will last a week, asks that every-
one cooperate to the best of her
ability. Nine dollars is the stand-
ard contribution asked from every-
one, but the actual individual
amount is optional. Those who
can give more are encouraged to
do so, and those who feel they can-
not afford the whole nine dollars
are asked to give what they can,
for the benefits resulting from the
Drive�such as free plays, remov-
al of constant soliciting and aid to
charities and to League work�are
common benefits.
Canvassers for the Drive have
been appointed, and each hall has
a chairman. They are: P. Well-
man, Rhoads South; J. Perry,
Rhoads North; E. Vorhaus, Mer-
ion; M. Calahan, Denbigh; S. Lip-
pincott, Pern East; L. Lewis, Pern
West; K. MacAusland, Rock; S.
Matteson, German House; V.
Dzung, Wyndham, and J. Shaffer,
Non-Res. They and their commit-
tees will hand around pledge cards
to be filled out.

High-Pressure Nose Spray Investigated;
Infirmary Pulls Color Trick On Sniffles
By Alice Crowder, '42
"They told me my tooth was dy-
ing and gave me an aspirin." This
recent manifestation of intense
sympathy on the part of the In-
firmary is amply compensated for
by a new and potent substance
which goes into the nose sprayer.
It is so potent that after a dose, it
is said, it' is impossible to see. One
stumbles coughing and choking
through the gray door only to find
at the gateway of liberty a white
clothed figure glimmering dimly
through the darkness. "I'm sorry
we made you sicker," it says. All
this when one entered with a mere
sniffle. The new era has definitely
commenced.
Victims snuffle out that the pri-
mary characteristic of the spray is
that it hurts. A warden testified
to the fact that yes, they did all
come back much worse than when
they left, she had wondered why.
But, unsatisfied with the evidence,
we sent down a stooge to record
her reactions as they occurred. The
stooge earned back green. What,
the nose spray? Yes, it had hurt,
but that was just her nose. How-
ever, she had made a scientific re-
search into the gargle, had asked
what it was, why it was, and so
forth, questions in great profusion.
The answer: the same old thing
with color removed. The signals
did get mixed up but it is now pos-
sible to generalize on the phenom-
ena. When we were children we
had colored gargle pills and pleas-
ant sniff sniff kind of nose spray.
But now we are men. The nose
spray at all events does the trick,
so say the men who use it.
